This particular car was tastefully specified by the first keeper in Orient Blue Metallic Paint (BMW code 317) combined with extended Nappa Leather Mosaik upholstery in light beige (BMW code Q9HC) with high quality Myrtle wood trim to doors, dashboard and gear selector.
You can imagine the original owner perusing the brochure and thoughtfully considering the choices and combinations of colour and trim. A copy of the original brochure forms part of the comprehensive documentation which includes Owner Handbook (both for the car and BMW Business Radio) and booklet of all European BMW Service Centres all in the original black BMW embossed wallet.
Velour floor mats, heated seats and front armrest add to the interior comfort and ambience along with Cruise Control for wafting along.
The S785A White Indicator Light Package also specified on this car really set it apart.
A Smoker Package was also added though the car has never seen a smoker inside but this does provide for a useful and functional power socket.
Manufactured on 25th April 2000 the vehicle was first registered in the UK on 8th June 2000 the first owner having taken delivery of the car in Hamburg Germany as was common at the time. Unusually as part of the documentation records kept with this car is the original EC-Certificate of Conformity unique to this vehicle.
